New M59!

[Charlesaf3]

Centering the loads is always a good idea I've learned here - glad I didn't learn that the hard way, some of the things I've done I've deserved to.

"Should be able" is the key - I still don't have your skills with the grapple in that area!

And make sure the grapple doesn't pop off one side. That's a real bummer.

Congratulations, My M59 is now in at the dealer but they can't deliver it until Tuesday. Bought a 84 hb woods box blade today. I am thinking of borrowing a trailer I sold and going and getting it tommorrow. It is a two and a half hr drive though and they are suppose to deliver it for free.

Are there specific Milonzi grapples that are Quick attach?
I was thinking of getting one for my L3240 which has a QA FEL, and forward
3rd remote. Which Milonzi model should I consider.

My LD48" Millonzi uses a standard QA on my L39. Just told Millonzi this and they had it set up correctly. I think this is pretty standard.

You want the 48 that yekrut and I have. Just tell them QA - that's the standard. Where people have had problems is getting the custom pin-on models to match up.

Kytractor - that's got to hurt! Its like christmas when I was a kid. At least I have the b to distract myself.

Top-n-tilt for the m59 won't be available for a few months sadly.

Agree on the the Millonzi QA. That is their standard model and they have not had any complaints that I am aware of for that. The pin specific mounts they still seem to be doing on an one off custom basis and they sometimes miss the mark.

Regarding top and tilt....these are not exactly brand specific attachments. Why can't you just get the appropriate size cylinder/stroke length from a hydraulic shop?

I made the mistake of selling my bx 24 and L3830 first. So I have no distractions. They told me I would have to bring it back for the top n tilt and thumb. How doe top n tilt exactly work? I didnt have it on the other trctors

Basically it is just two independently operated hydraulic cylinders with appropriate end fittings to replace the current toplink and tilt arm on you 3pt hitch. You hook the hydraulic lines up to rear remotes and control them from your seat.

I don't see why you'd have to bring it back for top-n-tilt - such an easy install it doesn't count as one. Thumb I can see, though even that doesn't seem that bad as the mount is there.

On waiting for the top and tilt - Kubota seems to consistently do its 3 point a little funky, requiring annoying modifications to cylinders. Easier to get something sized and designed for the tractor.
